2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · DC16 OFU

The 2016 Jeep Renegade presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 79,957 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The single failure on 29 July 2024 at 71,183 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle immediately passing on the same day at identical mileage. Recorded mileage rose from 50,155 in the July 2022 test to 60,790 by July 2023, then to 71,183 by July 2024, and reached 79,957 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, close to the 7,996 annual average for a ten-year-old vehicle, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing clean sheets throughout, so the record alone gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion, since the MOT history logs no advisories that would flag wear in those areas. The absence of recorded defects does not confirm component condition, only that the tester found nothing reportable at each date. Given the clean test sequence and ordinary mileage, previous ownership appears to have kept the Renegade to a basic pass standard without flagged intermittent faults. Verify service history against the 79,957-mile odometer and check for undocumented structural rust before purchase.
